FAQ
What this means: The amendment may be proposed in either the Senate or Assembly. The Amendment must be passed, by majority vote, in both legislative houses (Senate and Assembly). If such majority vote in both houses is secured, the amendment is then put before the next duly elected legislature for consideration.
It would be a rare person indeed who would accurately respond that the guarantee to each state of equal suffrage in the Senate is the only constitutional provision that is now expressly unamendable under the Constitution's own terms.
The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures.
It would be a rare person indeed who would accurately respond that the guarantee to each state of equal suffrage in the Senate is the only constitutional provision that is now expressly unamendable under the Constitution's own terms.
A constitution, which cannot be changed easily through a simple process, is referred to as a rigid constitution.
Unalterable, "impossible to change." The things you've done in the past are unalterable. The only things you have the power to change are the things you're doing right now or that you will do in the future.
An amendment may be proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress, or, if two-thirds of the States request one, by a convention called for that purpose. The amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the State legislatures, or three-fourths of conventions called in each State for ratification.
These unratified amendments address the size of the U.S. House (1789), foreign titles of nobility (1810), slavery (1861), child labor (1924), equal rights for women (1972), and representation for the District of Columbia (1978).
Therefore, the Constitution can be amended in three ways: Amendment by a simple majority of the Parliament, Amendment by a special majority of the Parliament, and. Amendment by a special majority of the Parliament and the ratification of half of the State Legislatures.
